Question: 1 / 400

What type of die stone is used for a PFM crown with a PVS impression?

Type II

Type III

Type IV

The correct type of die stone for a PFM crown with a PVS impression is Type IV. Type II is too weak and will not withstand the heat of the porcelain firing process. Type III is too strong and may cause inaccuracies in the final crown fit. Type V is typically used for implant cases, so it is not the appropriate choice. Type IV is specifically designed for use with PVS impressions and provides the optimal balance of strength and accuracy required for a PFM crown.
